Using _regexFunction

I have used HTTP Proxy Server to record my application testing. It recorded
everything fine. The problem I am having is with the continuity token that
we use for each request to check if it is a valid request. This is
dynamically generated for each request and kept in session. When I go to
next page, the previous value kept in session is compared with the value
from the request and if they match, the request is processed and a new token
is generated. If they don't match, an error page is displayed.    
Obviously, the test failed when I ran it. I am trying to use _regexFunction
to get this value dynamically. I need some guidance on how to create the
function and where to use it.
Below is the source on the html form:
<input type="hidden" name="com.tru.arch.facility.web.ContinuityToken"
		value='d7a281f1c83d859b77f476abf9c3ddb5'>
I need to capture this value from the previous response and send it with
next request.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
I understand that you were able to successfully use the URL Rewriting Modifier.
Whether it can be used for web applications using cookies for passing 
the session id or it could be used only in case of http url rewriting?
 
Ur reply is valuable and would be appreciated a lot.
Thanks in Advance,
Hema

Note that the Regex Extractor in that case will also be applied to the
second sampler, which may not be desired.

To apply the RE to only a single Sampler, add it as a child of that sampler:

TestPlan
+ Thread Group
+ + Sampler
+ + + Regex Extractor
+ + Sampler


S.
P.S. Presumably a "threat" group is what one uses for stress testing ;-)

AW: Language

Posted by Christian Baumgartner <ch...@tiscover.com>.
you have to change the jmeter.properties file if you want another language
than the default vm language of your system.

it's one of the first options in the file:

#Preferred GUI language. Comment out to use the JVM default locale's
language.
#language=en


best regards

maybe this will help you further:
	
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/functions.html#__regexFunction

it's not that difficult, maybe this explains it better:

-testplan
|
|_threat group
 |
 |_http request (this request creates the value)
 |
 |_regex extractor (here you define a reference name (variable name i.e.:
haribo) and the regular expression)
 |
 |_http request (next http request that will use the value or should match
it, pass it via POST/GET)
			you can access the variable above via ${haribo}


best regards
	Christian
